I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Happy Anniversary to VoiceofReasons!

Today I scraped frost off my car. But it's supposed to get up to 77F by the afternoon. How the heck am I supposed to dress for that? Well, yeah, layers, but that doesn't help when it comes to footwear.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No more Berlitz:

The Taiwan native then mouthed -- without speaking aloud -- the following phrase in Mandarin Chinese: "Let me introduce our new prototype."

The sensors captured electrical signals from Jou's facial muscles when they moved to form the silent Chinese words. In a matter of seconds, this information traveled to a computer that recognized the words and translated them into English and Spanish. The phrase was then displayed on a screen and spoken by the computer in both languages.

Up is we are playing hooky and running off to the mountains for the day. I feel a little, deliciously guilty. Whee!

Felicitations of the season to everybody, and may your Mondays be less Mondayish than usual!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Silence means security silence means approval

I actually had to laugh at the guy on NPR this morning who said that the President has made four SC nominations and three have been white men, and the other one sucked.

You know what's sad? That women in Dubya-land are either freakshows of the ass-kissing cheerleader division or freakshows of the hard-line mega-bitch division.

That is, women in Dubya's world are either vapid or just like his mother.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We're having that weather here, too, msbelle and Calli. I was going to wear my cape, but so not dealing with it when it gets warm.

Many more happy years to Pete and Jilli!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Oh my god.

That made my brain hurt.

My newspaper isn't here yet. How can I go to work without a newspaper to read?
